2011-12-26T19:47:00.000-08:00

WORLD RENOWNED MALE BELLY DANCER IS COMING BACK TO MALAYSIA!!!

Serkan Tutar’s 2011 workshop was a huge success. Registration is now open for the 2012! Next year's workshop will take place September 29 & 30, 2012 at Studio 5, The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac), Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan, 51100 Kuala Lumpur. the workshop will be focus on :

SATURDAY, 29^TH SEPTEMBER 2012

I LOVE MY VEIL – SINGLE & DOUBLE VEIL TECHNIQUE (2HRS) 11:00AM – 1:00PM (RM130)

Veils are the favorite props to most of the belly dancers due to the beauty and grace. Some people like classical styles while other prefer modern styles. Since both styles have their unique veil techniques and combinations, you can now learn from the Veil Expert, Mr. Serkan Tutar, to create magical and visually stunning veil dance. Silk veil is referred.

MAGIC VEIL CHOREOGRAPHY (4HRS) 2:00PM – 6:00PM (RM200)

This is a highly required workshop by last year’s veil workshop participants after they attended Serkan’s veil technique workshop. You will learn a full veil dance choreography with lots of grace and beauty of veil. Silk veil is preferred.

SUNDAY 30^TH SEPTEMBER 2012

SUPER CRAZY DRUMSOLO CHOREOGRAPHY (4HRS) 11:00PM – 2:00PM (RM200)

Forget about all the drum solo techniques that you have learnt till now with this “Super Crazy” drum solo”. Come and enjoy this Serkan’s style drum solo that is modern, dynamic and never been seen before with lots of shimmies, techniques, combinations and a “super crazy” drum solo choreography that is highly entertaining and technically challenging.

SHAABI DANCE CHOEREGRAPHY (3HRS) 3:00PM – 6:00PM (RM150)

Shaabi style of Bellydancing, is playful, flirtatious and, a little “cheeky”, with a strong folkloric influence. The movements are grounded and earthy, so less spins and big traveling steps than Classic style Raqs Sharqi. The steps are mostly on flat feet rather than on ball of the feet. The movements are not complex but full of feeling. Serkan’s Shaabi style is fun and funky. You will definitely enjoy learning and dancing to it.

The deadline to register for the 2012 workshop is :

COURSE FEES FOR ALL 4 WORKSHOPS (13 HOURS) – RM680.

** SPECIAL EARLY BIRD RATE** REGISTER ALL 4 WORKSHOP BEFORE 10^TH SEPTEMBER 2012 – RM550

Another AMAZING weekend workshops at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!!! Hadia is one of my favorite Oriental Dance Teacher. It was my pleasure to work together with Hadia since 2009, 2010 and 2011!!! I remember when I first time attended her workshop in Singapore 2008, she talks about how to protect the lower back, and this is a very popular posture in belly dance that is detrimental to our bodies. For the anatomy and safety, Hadia does a much great job at describing things, anyway and better still, she clearly illustrates and proves her findings. She is an unparalleled instructor in her field and if you get a chance to take her course - DO IT!!!! Double click to enlarge the photos during Hadia Workshop in April 2011.

2010-11-29T19:58:00.000-08:00

Hadia will be teaching another Exciting and AMAZING weekend workshops at Studio 5, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac) !!

To read more about Hadia's biography and testimonials, visit http://www.hadia.com

Day 1 - 9th April 2011, Saturday

Workshop 1 - Sharqi Technique and Combinations 10.00am to 2.00pm (4 hours) RM180.00

Now that you have a base in Hadia’s Revolutionary Body Logic Technique you can get ready to explore 1001 variations of all of your favourite movements and steps, focusing on easy and natural transitions and ending with styling and “combinations” from a true master that will inspire great choreographies and even make improvisation as breeze!

Workshop 2 - Baladi 3.00pm to 6.00pm (3 hours) RM150.00

Baladi, which is also known as the Mother of Oriental Dance, is by definition, pure improvisation. However, what most dancers do not realize is that the concept of choreography for Oriental “Sharqi” was relatively unheard of, until a bit more than 2 decades ago. Before this time, the most famous and skillful artists presented their own unique versions of artistic improvisation as their performance. Although oriental choreography is a wonderful vehicle to explore the intricacies of beautiful oriental music, it can become a serious limitation to any dancer who wants to dance from her heart to the soul of this rich and mysterious music. Hadia asks you “Would you like to learn another dance, or would you like to learn how to dance?” She will offer you the keys to her vision of the evolution of Egyptian improvisation from its’ origins in the popular urban dance style of the Egyptian woman to the highly refined and stylized Taxsim Baladi of the professional oriental artist.

Day 2 – 10th April 2011, Sunday

Workshop 3 - Drum Solo 10.00am to 2.00pm (4 hours) RM180.00

Hadia is famous for her high energy, creative and innovative drum solo choreographies which take you 1001 levels beyond LOCK, POP, TUCK! Here is your chance to apply Hadia’s great hip articulations and shimmy techniques, as well as surprise moves from her vast repertoire of other dance styles to her latest, greatest and dynamic drum solo that is guaranteed to be fun for all!

Tribal Belly Dance Workshop Series with Nanci Traynor

2009-10-03T08:38:00.000-07:00

This self-empowering dance is brought to you in a series of classes and levels. The student can learn the basic movements at a slower pace so the knowledge attained can be absorbed. Practice between each workshop is encouraged in order to prepare your body and mind for the next step. Progression in this dance form takes patience, self-study and passion.

The student has to rebuild the muscle memory the correct way by drilling the 8 basic movements. The body remembers the right or wrong way to do things, so the student must correct the body. Nanci wishes to inspire the student to dance for the rest of their life. Movements that are executed incorrectly will eventually lead to long-term injury.

The Body Does What?
The focus of these workshops is where all Tribal Style Belly Dance movements come from. Doesn’t matter if you have been dancing for 20 years, these basic movements still need to be practiced for precision. These are muscle-conditioning classes.
Isolations or in other words: pop and locking for muscle control. Nanci uses this method in class to train the student’s muscles to dance.

These workshops are taught in a series. (Plan ahead for the next workshop coming soon) Sequence of
